New School Dryden

Construction work on a new elementary school in Dryden could begin in the spring if the Ministry of Education gives its blessing to the project.

Earlier this year, the board tendered the project, but it came in way over budget.

Superintentant of Business, Dean Carrie says they have been working with the contractor that provided the lowest bid to try and reduce costs.

Carrie says the new school would cost about 13 million dollars to build.

The board is expected to find out next month if they can go ahead with the project.
